Men’s Basketball Rolls to 85-58 Triumph Over Caldwell



Goldey-Beacom went on a huge burst midway through the second half and posted its seventh victory in the last nine outings with an 85-58 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win over Caldwell at the Jones Center in Wilmington, DE.
 
The Lightning in the first half owned a 38-25 lead by shooting 45 percent from the floor and forcing the Cougars into 11 turnovers.  Senior Mahir Johnson (Chester, PA) netted 10 points in that time for Goldey-Beacom, which got 16 points from its bench compared to only one for Caldwell.
 
GBC (8-7, 6-1 CACC) held a 59-43 lead with 11 minutes left and was looking to put away things.  It did so in a big way, courtesy of an 18-3 run over the next 4 1/2 minutes to open its biggest lead at 77-46 with 6:23 remaining.  Senior Corey Taite (Sayreville, NJ) and sophomore Marcellus Livingston (Linden, NJ) led the balanced attack with four points in a run which six different players scored.
 
Livingston once again had a solid outing, pouring in 19 points to go with three 3-pointers over a game-high 36 minutes.  Johnson netted 16 points, Taite had 14 and nine rebounds, Tevin Service (Union, NJ) scored 10 points with fellow sophomore Kyle Elliot (Rahway, NJ) and freshman Jack Gjeding (Holbaek, Denmark) adding nine apiece.
 
GBC shot 50 percent (14-of-28) from the floor in the second half, 48 percent (28-of-59) overall and forced 18 turnovers for its sixth victory over Caldwell in the last nine meetings.
 
Another key for the Lightning was the 3-pointer, 13 of them to mark the fourth time this season they have reached that.  The season high of 16 occurred December 8 at Wilmington (DE).
 
Ahmad Harrison poured in 13 points, Vaughn Covington netted 10 points and Ned Ogoemesim added seven for Caldwell (7-9, 3-4), which could not overcome shooting just 39 percent (10-of-26) from the field in the first half.
 
Goldey-Beacom next Wednesday steps out of CACC play to host West Chester for a 7:00 pm contest.
